six of my bones
placed into these microphones,
I hope you can hear these walls talk.

five of my fingers
placed into these singers,
I hope you can feel what they say.

four of my hairs,
placed into these snares,
I hope you can tap to my thoughts.

three of my toes
placed into these flows,
I hope you can rinse in regrets.

two of my eyes,
placed into these lines,
I hope you can read me as well.

one of my hearts,
placed into these charts,
I hope you know I've given it all.

none of my tears,
placed into these fears,
I hope you know how I appear.

I view the seat across from me
With eager eyes and open heart

I view the seat across from me
With willing ears spread far apart

I view the seat across from me
Still and untouched

I view the seat across from me
Empty and in need of love

I smell the work in his three piece suit,
I see beneath the driver's cap, his hair let loose,
I spot the double knot on his wingtip boots,
I can picture the wooden twig underneath his tooth,
I hear the dusty engine in his shiny new coupe,
But all you take is flash,
Not knowing he used to be just liked you.

I loved you so much that even when you got away,
I let you go in peace, knowing that another deserves someone as great as you to call her babe.
